Patented May 1, 1945 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE I I l i 2,374,632 v v coN'monAm-Anmws Theodore A. Cohen, Chicago, 11]., assignor, by mesne:asslgnments, towheelco Instruments Company, Chicago, Ill., ,a corporation of Illinois Application December 31, 1942 Serial No. 470,916 18 Claims. (01. 205 16) This invention relates to control apparatus andmore particularly to a control apparatus for automatically stopping a 'wire drawing apparatus upon any defect or breakage of the wire being drawn.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide an apparatus for, efliciently controlling a wire drawing apparatus to sharply and effec-.

tively stop the same in event of the aforementioned contingency, energize alarms, and to provide an improved apparatus whereby a minute change in an impedance change device may control an oscillator circuit to effect such control.

Other and further objects of my invention will be apparent as the same becomes better understood from an examination of the specification and claims in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:

Figure 1 represents a diagrammatic and schematic view of an apparatus embodying my invention;

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the mounting and housing containing the apparatus of Figure 1; a

Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 showing a portion of the impedance change device housing cut away and the side of the oscillator circuit housing removed to show the manner of mounting said device and circuit in their respective housings; Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 of a modified form of the mounting and housing for the apparatus;

Figure 5 is a detail fragmentary side elevational view of the mounting and housingfor the impedance change device of the apparatus.

Referring to the drawings more particularly, reference character I designates a drum of wire 2 to be drawn from a larger diameter to a smaller diameter. Wire 2 is adapted to be unwound from said drum l and drawn over a roller 3, through a die 4, through an impedance change device 5 hereinafter described, and over a roller 6 to a drum 1 which is driven by an electric motor 8. The motor 8 has a solenoid 9 the winding of .which is in parallel with the motor operating winding .(not shown) and both are connected to a source of current l through a switch ll, controlled by a relay I2 in the output circuit of the oscillator circuit l3 hereinafter described. Thus when the power supply to the motor 8 is cut off, the solenoid releases a brake arm permitting a spring to apply a brake Hi to the drum 1. Likewise operation of relay It also causes switch H to make contact 64 to energize alarmv pilot light 65 when the wire breaks. The impedance change device 5 comprises a housing l1, mounted as will be hereinafter described, provided with aligned openings I8 and IS in opposite vertical walls for the wire 2. Within housing I! there is mounted an oscillating circuit including an inductance or coil which surrounds the wire 2 and is in the nature of a variable inductance or impedance changedevice whose inductance varies with the condition of said Wire whereby any radical change therein such as breakage thereof will cause a substantial change in said inductance of coil 20. This impedance change device is adapted to control the oscillator circuit 13 as will be hereinafter described.

A grid tank circuit is mounted in the container IT. The details of mounting will be hereinafter described in conjunction with Figures 2 to 5 inclusive.

A conductor 2| connects one end of coil 20 to a coupling condenser 22 and the latter is con nected to a male terminal plug 23 on container 11. to another male tainer IT.

The male plugs 23 and 24 are adapted to connect with female connector elements 25 and 26, respectively, at one end of a concentric conductor cable 21 insulated from ground by an external rubber sheath'or cover (not shown). The cable 2! comprises an inner conductor 28, separators 29 and an outer conducting sheath 30. The end of the cable opposite to the connector 23-26 is provided with a connector similar thereto for connection to the input of an oscillator circuit hereinafter described,

terminal plug 24 on the con- The concentric co-axial conductor cable is constructed in well known mannerwith a core conductor fixedly and concentrically positioned within a conducting sheath which may be covered with insulation (not shown). By properly choosing the values of the capacitive and inductivecomponents of the oscillating circuit in enclosure H, the cable is properly terminated so that minimum radio frequency loss is obtained in the system due to the cable for any substan-,,

- tial length thereof. In this manner the remote control assembly just described may control an oscillator apparatus hereinafter described without fear of transmission losses which otherwise would reduce the sensitivity of the apparatus if not actually prevent its operation.

The oscillator circuit includes a vacuum tube 35 connected to a plate tanl; comprising-an in- The other end of the coil 20 is connected.

ductance 40, variable condenser 4| for tuningto resonance, as will hereinafter be described, and grid bias resistor or grid leak 52 for said tube.'

Alternating current voltages are obtained from 5 a multi-winding transformer having a primary winding 44, connected to a suitable source of alternating current l0, and having a plurality of secondary windings 45, 55, 5S and 51 arranged to suppiy suitable voltages to the tube i and switch H to stop driving motor 8' and apply circuits. The tube 35 and repeater tube 41, hereinafter described, are self rectifyingand therefore the operation will-be described only with respect to the positive half cycles of the alternating current voltages.

The output section ofthe tube 35 .may be traced from the left-hand terminal of the secondary winding 46 through the plate tank circuit 40, 4|, the anode or plate 31, the cathode 38, the secondary winding 55, conductor 56a,

a load impedance or resistor 53 and thence to the right hand terminal of secondary winding '46. By-pass condensers 42 and 54 are connected as shown and prevent the flow of high frequency oscillatory windings and through the load impedance 53. The total voltage impressed across the anode circuit of tube 35 is the sum of the voltages of the secondary windings 43 and 56.

The output circuit for the repeater or amplifier tube 41 may be traced from the left hand terminal of the secondary winding 55 to the anode or plate 49, the cathode 50, the secondary winding 53, the voltage of which is in phase with the voltage of the winding 55, the operating winding 12 of the relay 58 and to the right hand terminal of the winding 55. A condenser 3| is connected as shown across the relay winding 53 and prevents chatter of relay by supplying energy to relay during negative or non-conducting portion of A. C.

cycle. Transformer secondary winding 51 is connected to filaments 33 and 5| to heat cathodes 33 and 55, respectively, by wires 15-); not completed. The grid bias for effecting proper operation of the repeater tube 41 is obtained by connecting the grid or control electrode 43 to one end of the load resistor 53, the remaining portion of this circuit extending from the cathode 50 to the secondary transformer winding 56, the conductor 56a to the opposite end or the 10m re- 5 sister 53. It will be apparent that the voltage across the winding 56 is opposite to and thus .compensates for a portion of the voltage drop across theload impedance 53 and accordingly when the oscillator tube 35 is in oscillatory condition so 5 that a plate current of low value flows through the load impedance 53. A minimum negative bias equal to the diflerence between the voltage of the winding 56 and the voltage drop across the load impedance is impressed on the grid 43. Under these conditions, and with proper voltages, the tube constants, and the value of the load resist:

ance all so pre-chosen to providea low negative grid bias, a high repeater plate current is obtained 6 the oscillator tube 35 extends from the cathode 33, the transformer winding 55, the lower end of relay 7 winding I2, the tap 50 and the grid bias res stor or grid leak 52 to the grid 33.

A fixed grid bias is applied; by the above circuit, to the grid 33 which isequal to the voltage drop across the relay winding 53 to tap50 and is currents through the transformer 25 ther increases the voltage drop across the load resistor 53 and the negative bias upon the amso chosen that with maximum current flow 'in I the output circuit of the amplifier or repeater tube 41 the maximum desired negative bias is applied to the grid 36. g

The plate tank is tuned to predetermined resonance with condenser 4| so as to close relay l2 when wire 2 is at desired normal reduced condition. Should the wire 2 change from desired condition such as breaking, the inductance of coil 20 changes, causing eventual opening of relay l2 brake IE to drum 1.

When wire 3 breaks as it invariably will, if at all, beyond the die 4, changing inductance of coil age drop across the resistor 53, which correspondingly increases the negative bias upon the amplifiertube 41 with, a consequent drop in its plate current through the relay 59. The decrease in current through the relay 53 causes a decrease in the negative grid bias applied to the grid of the oscillator tube 35, which'tends to further increase the plate current ofthe oscillator tube 35. This increase in the oscillator plate current furplifier tube 41 with the consequent efiect of rapidly dropping the amplifle'r plate current to the cut-ofi point, which causes approximately zero level in plate current and opening of relay #3 to stop motor 3 and apply brake Hi. When wire 2 is rethreaded and restored the reverse occurs.

Circuit is retuned and oscillator plate current drops, decreasing the drop across resistor 53, which decreases the negative bias on the amplifier tube 41; the plate-current of the amplifier increases, increasing the drop across the relay 53, which increases the negative bias onthe grid of the oscillator 35, aiding in dropping the oscillator plate current, which further tends to decrease the bias upon the amplifier 41, etc., with the result that the final positioning of the plate current of amplifier 41 is at saturation. Bythe judicious choosing of load resistance 53, of the resistance of the relay winding 53 andthe proper apportioning of bias voltages as shown, the values of plate current between cut-off and saturation may be fixed at any desired value. The result is that large, abrupt, and rapid plate current changes are always obtained. The result obtainable is comparable to the triggering of! of a Thyratron" type hot cathode grid control rectifier without a the necessity of using gas-filled tubes.

Study of the circuit arrangement will also bring out that the system is self compensating for changes in line voltage which prevents shiftage of the control point if the line voltage should change. It is not necessary that the apparatus be limited to the use of separate vacuum tubes, each containing separate triode elements, since these separate tubes have been chosen only as a matter of convenience. Dual purpose tubes having trlode elements in a common envelope may be operated in the same manner. Direct current voltages may also be used.

It will be noted that the platesupply for tubes 35 and 41 are obtained from winding and 55,

respectively, in series with 53. Should the line voltage fall the supply voltage iron; 55 would reduce and therefore the plate current flow in plate circuit of tube 41 would tend to decrease. However, since winding supplies the plate circuit of tube 35 and since the negative bias on grid'43 ings l8 and I9 maybe aligned on essentia I same level as the axis of the wire being drawn.

isobtained from drop across resistor 03 due to plate current flow in plate circuit of tube 35, the

changes in line voltage. Aging of tubes is also compensated for in the same manner in conjunction with the regenerative connection between tap 80 and resistor 52.

In summary, the advantages of this circuit are manifest. inasmuch as a relay with a high throw,-

out percentage is not necessary, since the plate current changes through said relay are very rapid and very large; It is impossible to lose control of the oscillator, since, because of the fact that it is self-rectified, oscillations, no matter how minute. will always reoccur. Other variations of this circuit will readily occur to those versed in the art. such as the use of a common power supply,

with a self-rectified circuit, instead of separate voltages as shown. Such circuits have been designed and are entirely feasible.
